Windows 10: PIN suddenly required and I can't turn it off

A PIN is suddenly required and I don't want it. I have a system I've operated for over a year without a PIN. I want it to boot up unattended and not to lock.Settings are correct - Hello is off. netplwiz is unchecked. What else should I try to get it back to my desired configuration.

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Win 10 PIN Required but not set up with PIN

Hi Linda,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if it helps

To prevent others from pairing with or using your adapter without your permission, you can change the pairing mode to “Requires a PIN code to pair.” With this setting turned on, anyone trying to connect to your adapter will
have to be able to see your HDTV, monitor, or projector to get the pairing code. Here’s how to enable this setting:

Step 1: Tap or click Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
to open the app

Step 2:Under Pairing mode, tap or click
Requires PIN code to pair



Windows remembers connected devices, so the adapter won’t prompt you to enter a PIN if you connect to it using the same Surface.



Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

 

PIN

To resolve this issue with your PIN, follow these step:

• Restart your computer first, then after that, open File Explorer and browse to this location:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

• Delete everything within that folder.
• Go to Settings-> Accounts->Sign-in Options.
  
• Click Add a PIN again and set your PIN.
  
• PIN sign in should work going forward.

Let us know how this turns out.

 

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
